SURVIVORS of the Dark Knight Rises massacre have spoken of horrific scenes after the gunman opened fire.

Terrified cinema-goers told how they ran around screaming as blood flowed down seats.

Their chilling testimonies are revealed in a new ­documentary tonight about last month’s killing spree at a screening of the new Batman film in Aurora, Colorado.

In the programme, The Batman Killings, to be screened on BBC3 at 9pm, Jansen Young reveals how she was saved because her boyfriend Jonathan Blunk, who was himself shot dead, shielded her from the bullets.

She said: “He protected me by telling me what to do and pushing me into the seat.

“He knew he was saving me. I could feel the blood running down from the seat above.”

Fellow survivor Harmony Johnson says: “People were just crawling and running and screaming.”

The documentary, presented by soccer star John Fashanu’s daughter Amal, also reveals that since the massacre, more teenagers in Aurora are now buying guns for protection.

James Holmes, 24, is accused of killing 12 people and injuring 58 in the shooting rampage on July 20.
